Notes from the Resistance...
Simi Valley announced Saturday it would settle a federal lawsuit, giving Coley $21 million for his almost four decades of wrongful incarceration... [More]What, no kidnapping charges?
[F]ormer U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova explained that America is in a "civil war" now and that things will get much worse before they get better -- "total war." [More]Kind'a makes you wonder what the DOJ guys who aren't saying anything publicly think...
The fraudulent search warrant that authorized last month's deadly Houston drug raid has prompted an FBI investigation and a review of more than 1,400 cases involving the narcotics officer who obtained the warrant. [More]At least they didn't need a phony dossier this time.
The officer had a complicated past having been decorated in 2009 by the Sheriff’s Office with the Medal of Valor and also investigated in 2010 for an on-duty allegation of domestic violence. He was also accused of police brutality multiple times from 2004 to 2006, costing taxpayers more than $400,000... [More]And they knowingly inflicted him on the public for almost 20 years.
Javier Bardem knocks 'borders,' 'walls' during Oscars speech in Spanish [More]And if we can't trust this neurotic's judgment, whose can we trust?
Terrence Howard Defends His 'Empire' Co-Star [More]How does the old loaded question go? Terrence, have you stopped beating your wife?
“This is the second stay of proceedings in this case since Mr. Young’s case was first docketed in this Court on December 24, 2012,” Thursday’s motion observes. “Mr. Young has now been in the appeals process for approximately six years, two months and nine days.” [More]Kicking the can down the road again is enough to make one think they're intentionally making -- how did Mr. Kennedy phrase it? -- "peaceful revolution impossible."
Synagogue Security Guard Shoots 1st Amendment Auditor Standing on Sidewalk in LA [More]I've been looking for an online presence for the synagogue to see what their public political sentiments are.
“If you paste my face on the internet it’s against the law so I’m not giving you permission to use my picture or my face on the internet, do you understand all that?” [More]Loud and clear:
At a public hearing earlier this month, Concord University Police Officer David Eldridge says his department would have to hire 13 additional officers and purchase multiple metal detectors if the bill passes. [More]Did anyone ask the idiot why, and then press him to flesh that out? Anyone capable of calling BS?
House Rep Bill Post has been removed from the House Judiciary Committee. Post is one of the most committed pro-gun legislators in Oregon history. House Speaker Tina Kotek removed Post from the committee (the one that hears gun bills) for the crime of tweeting pro-gun messages on his Twitter account. [More]With all due respect, I don't see how expressing "outrage" to a Portland Democrat who Republicans won't even run against will do anything but give her a good cackle.
Changing Reality with Words - Beware of euphemisms. [More]I'm reminded of "Framing the Terms" from our old GunTruths site, observations still relevant to the discussion...
Democratic Rep. Connie Keogh of Missoula argued that Regier's efforts would prevent local governments "from passing commonsense public safety measures regarding firearms in public places designed to keep their communities safe." [More]Funny. Connie doesn't show the same concern for local sentiments when she tries to impose disarmament edicts over everyone.
The Gun Feed Poll: Are you done with Benchmade? [More]I am.
Robbers dressed as lawmen to steal $30,000 in jewelry, police say [More]Be aware of how often this happens, because you never know when you might need to prove that we have good cause to suspect all entering our homes by force.
“How can it be OK for people to manufacture firearms without serial numbers? As a police officer and a city representative, I took oaths to serve and protect people,” Stella said. [More]No, traitor. That's not the oath you took.
Today's show is packed with 2A goodness. We start off with a couple big headlines, then we pick it up with Rob Pincus from Personal Defense Network. Then in hour two we do a quick update with Greg Collins from Homer Friends of NRA about their raffle tomorrow, then chat with David Codrea author of the WarOnGuns.com and writer for Ammoland. Finally we finish it all off with a weekend movie/Oscars update with Willie Waffle! Whew.I'll be on this morning at 11:15 Eastern. You can listen via live stream from The Michael Dukes Show website or watch it live via the Facebook stream.
This effort was particularly instructive in revealing the dangerous mentality behind the blacklist, and the menace it poses not only to conservatives like myself, but to the future of our democracy. [More]And that "our democracy" reference is particularly instructive on how "conservatives" help the enemy by perpetuating a huge and intentional con job.
Statue Of General Lee Vandalized In North Carolina. It Was The Wrong General Lee. [More]Morons.
More than a dozen retired top military commanders, leaders and advisers, whose careers spanned both Republican and Democratic administrations, are throwing their weight behind a bill in the House and Senate that would require universal background checks for all U.S. gun sales. [More]These subversive oath-breakers again...
A “thin blue line” flag meant to honor law enforcement was removed from the Connecticut State Capitol this week after Democrats complained it might offend Black Lives Matter supporters. [More]At least we see who matters more to them. Don't expect those of us you would ignore your oaths over and disarm to feel sorry for you.
McSally says she’ll fight to keep Luke funding from being diverted to wall [More]Then, out of the other side of her mouth...
Cheerleaders given awards for biggest breasts, butt [More]Perhaps an honest appraisal early on of exactly what it is they bring to the table will help dissuade delusions of greater significance...
Is Speaker Bonnen Trying to Screw Gun Owners? [Watch]But...but...but...
Meanwhile, what is our supposedly “pro-gun” administration doing about states that want to make U.S. gun ownership more restrictive than those of many foreign countries such as the ones cited above? Is it lifting a finger to oppose them and enforce the Bill of Rights against state infringements? To the contrary, it’s upholding federal infringements against “states’ rights.” [More]Like the quote asks, "Why would you trade 1 tyrant 3000 miles away for 3000 tyrants less than 1 mile away?"
‘I am dreaming of a way to kill almost every last person on earth’: A self-proclaimed white nationalist planned a mass terrorist attack, the government says [More]A Coast Guard Lieutenant?
Syracuse U: U.S. Constitution is 'exclusionary' to some students [More]Then how does it help "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity" to allow any foreign national who would be offended by that to live in this country and reap the exclusive benefits that offers?
The BLEXIT movement misses the point that being a black conservative is not being a free thinker. [More]Nothing Orwellian about that.
Deadline has passed, but 75% of Quebec’s long guns aren’t registered [More]Enforce existing gun laws! Lock up the scofflaws! Every one of them!
In a swipe at gun owners, Governor Pat Quinn cut more than half of the budget for the Illinois state police office that handles these checks. Quinn, an ardent gun control advocate, did this to create long backlogs and delays in issuing Firearm Owners’ Identification Cards. Sometimes it seems that Democrats just want to make life difficult for gun owners. [More]"Sometimes"...?
Leading Public-Health Groups Oppose Ban on Infanticide [More]But they offset that by being for bans on you having the tools to defend lives.
To remain prosperous, America needs more immigrants. [More]Funny-- I don't see him even considering the greatest threat to that prosperity, an unchallengeable Democrat supermajority which the policies he calls for will ensure.
The decision, which united the court's conservatives and liberals, makes clear that the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against "excessive fines" applies to states and localities as well as the federal government. [More]Now what about "cruel and unusual punishment"?
Authorities say a Florida police employee sold department-owned guns and other equipment to a pawn shop. [More]Why do I picture Rick Harrison saying "20 bucks -- best I can do"?
Sen. Kamala Harris's Jamaican father has vigorously disavowed his daughter's comments regarding marijuana, accusing her of fraudulently stereotyping Jamaicans and pursuing "identity politics." [More]But you're the racist.
More than 50 children killed in 3 years: Guns take a heavy toll in Kansas City area [More]I'm gonna go give my guns a good talking-to, just in case they're getting any ideas.
KCPD officer who drove police van in wreck that killed teen is back at work [More]Evidently, his claim that the van went off worked.
Man's gun reportedly stolen from SFO baggage carousel [More]So do you look for the cases with the big padlocks on them?

 |
The 3-D chess crowd has heaped obloquy on me for pointing out these facts. [More]I feel your pain. I get the same unsubstantiuated, faith-based excuses over the Trumpstock ban,
WHILE SEVERAL STATES PICK APART THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS SAFETY ACT, POLICE AND CONGRESS ARE FIGHTING BACK TO MAKE SURE GOOD GUYS ARE ARMED AND READY. [More]What, you mean the "professional" elites who make sure the rest of us are not, and who ignored those of us on the outside looking in once they had their place at the table?
Pope says church's attackers are linked to devil [More]Let's not confuse exposing subversive stewards with an attack on the institution.
Census: Highest immigrant population in 100 years, over half Latinos [More]And guess what.
News that you're not allowed to discuss - Article 11, which allows news sites to decide who can link to their stories and charge for permission to do so, has also been worsened. The final text clarifies that any link that contains more than "single words or very short extracts" from a news story must be licensed, with no exceptions for noncommercial users, nonprofit projects, or even personal websites with ads or other income sources, no matter how small. [More]Jeez, and here I figured I was doing them a favor driving eyeballs to their sites.
Join us and country icon Alan Jackson when he brings his 2019 tour to the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on April 27, with special guest William Michael Morgan presented by NRA Country. [More]I realize they don't control venue rules, but I'd rather hang on to my rights than listen to music, so we'll have to see if game rules apply to this exhibitor event.
They want to take your guns. They’ll lie and worse to do it. Gun owners are right to not give an inch and to decry “compromise” by some representing themselves as “gun rights leaders” (and their apologists) for helping the gun-grabbers with a divide-and-conquer piecemeal surrender strategy. [More]Anyone acting as a "pragmatic" apologist for incremental infringements is abetting the enemy.
CA Democrats Author Bill to Protect Sex Offenders Who Lure Minors - No crime if the person is within 10 years of age of the minor [More]Give it a few years and anyone speaking out against this will be deemed a hater, subject to getting booted off the internet and their employers being harassed, shamed, and legislated against to economically exile them.
HOW DEMOCRATS SPAWNED THE BORDER CRISIS - Sacrificing national security on the altar of open borders. [More]Gee, I wonder why.
An Apology to David Horowitz: He Was Right about Bill Kristol [More]Actually, he didn't go anywhere near far enough.
Man accused of pulling gun on victim wearing MAGA hat [More]So the one guy's a loser and the other must not be all that sharp himself.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo wants to make it a felony to assault a working journalist. [More]Will that include justabloggers?
A memorial to Karl Marx at a cemetery in North London has been defaced for the second time in less than two weeks. [More]Too bad armed security protects this abomination.
So if Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren ever follow through on their threat to declare gun violence a "national emergency," be sure to check their math. [More]Why? Since when do truth, rationality, and logic influence communist propaganda or persuade ginned-up mobs?
In the last four months, the Department of Maryland State Police has appealed nearly two dozen decisions by the Handgun Permit Review Board, a panel that has attracted scrutiny from Democratic lawmakers for its tendency to issue handgun permits contrary to state police recommendations. [More]Because if we let mere citizens have them, why, we'll no longer be "Only Ones"...
Universal background checks will never truly be universal because criminals do not comply with the law. This legislation will not change criminal behavior — it will simply make illegal normal behavior that can, in fact, save lives. [More]Yeah, but those manipulating the useful idiots know that.

The environmental impact caused by illegal immigration, and the trash left behind, is increasingly being found in areas that are more fragile and remote. [More]I've raised this point before: If the Brady Campaign had standing to sue the Bush administration over its guns in national parks rule because no environmental impact study had been performed, why can't the feds be sued for this -- and in front of the same federal judge who agreed with the Bradys?
Folsom Lake College reported a poster of a cartoon frog to the local police department. [More]Enforce existing thoughtcrime laws.
Oregon lawmakers seek to lower voting age in state to 16, so teens can ‘protect their future’ [More]I saw this movie...
The Washington Free Beacon isn’t revealing the street address due to safety concerns expressed by her office. [More]Huh. So you mean all those D.C.-style "common sense gun safety laws" AOC would impose on the rest of us don't really work? That must be why the story was revised to delete a quote from the complex promo that said it “promises to take luxury apartment living to a new level.”
A former Philadelphia homicide detective was arrested Tuesday and accused of grooming and sexually assaulting male witnesses during criminal investigations, then intimidating them to keep them silent... [More]Well, after all, it is the City of Brotherly Love...
Six illegal immigrants have been arrested in a massive drug operation in North Carolina with ties to a Mexican drug cartel — a rival of the notorious ring led by recently convicted Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, according to reports. [More]The important thing is, any children they fathered here will be birthright Democrats.
Police: Off-Duty ICE Officer O.L. Jones Shot Man in Ga. Wal-Mart Parking Lot [More]It sounds like there's plenty more to this story. Curious that no one seems to have any additional details.
Grand Canyon tourists exposed for years to radiation... [More]Why do you think they called him "Brighty"?
The EEOC discourages employers from conducting criminal background checks on job applicants and requires employers to hire felons unless they can show “business necessity” for not doing so. [More]And, of course, they're let out because time's up, not because they're "safe."
Suspect in dentist office shooting identified as school bus driver [More]Don't those guys go through background checks or something?

Tensions growing as Sheriff Darryl Forté resists questions about troubled jail [More]Accountability? We ain't got no accountability! We don't need no accountability! I don't have to show you any stinking accountability!
The Mayor of Black Jack is holding a community meeting tonight at Black Jack City Hall about a string of recent shootings. [More]Thank goodness Missouri law says guns aren't allowed at "government meetings" and in "government-owned buildings."

Chicago’s High Unsolved Murder Rate Worsened By Uncooperative Communities [More]But they'll happily vote in more gun-grabbers.
FORMER BUSH ETHICS CZAR TELLS MSNBC THAT DONALD TRUMP IS 'NOT WELL AT ALL, MENTALLY…HE'S HAVING A HISSY FIT' [More]It's more like the other way around for this longtime TDS sufferer. What kind of Opposite Day "progressive" ethics allow someone utterly devoid of qualifications to make a public diagnosis without examination?
What it looks like is that Illinois has created a system for felons (or other prohibited persons) to verify whether or not they’re in NICS for just 10 bucks and no consequences. [More]It's only "common sense"...
